help with valve timing

Hi, I am a new mr2 owner seeking advice. We just replaced timing belt@ 155k. It was a learning experience, but done and running. Trying to set up for autocross and some road use, we heard advancing valve timing to 14 deg. improves performance. Is this Ok? Thanks for your help.

help with valve timing

OK. Thanks TomsMR2. Is it possible to check or set cam timing without removing the alternator bracket?
